Surprised at the secret ingredient? Don’t worry, you can’t taste the beets at all. I HATE the flavor of beets so I masked the flavor with Homemade Vanilla Paste, natural butter flavor, and stevia extract. At first I started with 2 teaspoons of each, gave the mixture a taste, and almost spit it out because I could detect the beets. I added an extra 2 teaspoons of the flavorings and the dip immediately turned into absoluteperfection.

I’m shocked at how amazing the nutrition facts are too. Compared to the nutrition facts of a typical/unhealthy Red Velvet Cheesecake Dip recipe, my version has:

450 less calories

27g less fat

50g less carbs

33g less sugar

I think my eyes just popped out of my skull. For the same amount of dip my recipe will save you 450 calories!

And les be real. Who in the world can only eat a half cup serving of this deliciousness? WHO CAN RESIST?! If you have 2 servings (1 cup) — you’ll save 900 calories by choosing my healthy version over the competition. That’s crazy. My jaw is literally on the floor right now.

To make things even better, my recipe contains no refined sugar, no bleached flour, no deadly trans fats, and no artificial food dyes. Oh, and it contains a VEGETABLE. Yeah, so you can eat this healthy dip with happy thoughts. FOR BREAKFAST. 😀

Enjoy!

WOW I’m so glad the silken tofu worked out!! I’m not really a fan of the taste of tofu, but I do find the silken variety less “harsh” compared to the firm stuff. I’ll definitely give that a try next time, thanks! 🙂

I made this just the other day, and it is fantastic!!:) I pureed canned beets in my food processor as I didn’t have fresh ones to roast, and it came out great (although I’m sure fresh beet puree would taste even better)! I’ve tried some of your other recipes as well, and they have all turned out great. Keep up the wonderful work, and I look forward to trying more of your recipes.

Yay!! I’m so glad this worked with canned beets! Every time I use canned beets in a recipe I never get a vibrant red color… it always ends up brown or something! I think I just have bad luck in the kitchen haha 😉
Thank you so much for letting me know how my recipes turned out for you! I hope you like the rest to come 🙂
